a kite and a key

by cain-arkay

We pose for a photo Your hand On the small of my back Smile, click, flash, And you forge a path down and away And I am wide wide awake We pose for a photo Your hand On my arm Smile, click, flash, And you trace your fingers down and away And I am wide wide awake These shocks you give me Could power Tokyo But they're all mine And I can only stand and be electrocuted by your little touches While you find energy elsewhere I need you like an artificial heart needs a charge You need me like a light switch in a thunderstorm
